Daniel 8:15-26

15And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when I, evenH853 I DanielH1840, had seenH7200 the visionH2377, that I soughtH1245 to understandH998 it; and, beholdH2009, there stoodH5975 beforeH5048 meH7200 as the appearanceH4758 of a manH1397.

16And I heardH8085 a man’sH120 voiceH6963 betweenH996 the banks of UlaiH195, which calledH7121, and saidH559, GabrielH1403, makeH8085 this manH120 to understandH995 the visionH4758.

17SoH935 he cameH935 nearH6440 whereH413 I stoodH5975; and when he cameH935, I was affrighted, and fellH5307 uponH5921 my faceH6440: but he saidH559 unto meH413, UnderstandH995, O sonH1121 of manH120; for the visionH2377 belongeth to the time of the endH7093.

18NowH1696 as he was speakingH1696 with meH6440, I fellH5921 intoH5921 a deep sleep, with my faceH6440 towardH5921 the groundH776: but he touchedH5060 meH6440, and setH5975 meH6440 uprightH5975.

19And he saidH559, BeholdH2005, I will makeH3045 thee knowH3045 whatH834 shall be in the latterH319 time of the indignationH2195: for it belongeth to the appointedH4150 time of the endH7093.

20The ramH352 whichH834 thou sawest that had the two hornsH7161, they are the kingsH4428 of MediaH4074 and PersiaH6539.

21And the rough he-goat is the kingH4428 of GreeceH3120: and the greatH1419 hornH7161 that is betweenH996 his eyesH5869 is the firstH7223 kingH4428.

22And as for that whichH1471 was brokenH7665, in the placeH8478 whereof fourH702 stoodH5975 upH5975, fourH702 kingdomsH4438 shall standH5975 upH5975 outH1471 of the nationH1471, but notH3808 with his powerH3581.

23And in the latterH319 time of their kingdomH4438, when the transgressorsH6586 are comeH319 to the fullH8552, a kingH4428 of fierceH5794 countenanceH6440, and understandingH995 darkH2420 sentences, shall standH5975 upH5975.

24And his powerH3581 shall be mightyH6099, but notH3808 by his own powerH3581; and he shall destroyH7843 wonderfully, and shall prosperH6743 and doH6213 his pleasure: and he shall destroyH7843 the mightyH6099 onesH6918 and the holyH6918 peopleH5971.

25And throughH3027 his policy he shall causeH657 craft to prosperH6743 in his handH3027; and he shall magnifyH1431 himselfH3824 in his heartH3824, and in their security shall he destroyH7843 manyH7227: he shall also standH5975 upH5975 againstH5921 the princeH8269 of princesH8269; but he shall be brokenH7665 withoutH657 handH3027.

26And the visionH2377 of the eveningsH6153 and morningsH1242 whichH834 hath been toldH559 is trueH571: but shut thou upH5640 the visionH2377; for it belongeth to manyH7227 daysH3117 to come.
